Of Thirty-six What do nuns do?

Listening to the sound, he found that their woman was standing on the beach. Seeing that she could not avoid it, Lin Daogan and Li Yanzhi whispered: "I'll kill her!" Li Yanzhi hesitated and did not stop him.

When the two of them walked out gently and were about to commit an offense, they found a nun kneeling on the beach, facing the sea, and said, "Devil, Devil! Come out! Come out!" Among the pirates, there was only one nun, the woman named Hillary.

The two looked at each other, guessing that the nun was not calling him. Although they didn't know what she was doing, they were not interested in knowing. Li Yan straightened out his two fingers and made a walk. The two tiptoed away, looking at the only one step away from the row of bamboos, just hide in. Hillary suddenly heard something and turned around suddenly: "Who!"

Lin Daogan ran away and had already hid behind the bamboo. Li Yanzhi, who was half a step behind, had no time. Half of his body was seen by Hillary. He pondered slightly, but acted as if he was not about to hide in the bamboo bush, but was about to walk out from behind the bamboo bush. His hand behind the bamboo bush patted Lin Daogan to relieve him, but the man walked towards Hillary and said, "I happened to pass by. Where are you? Who are you? What are you doing here?"

At this moment, Hillary was not wearing a headscarf, and Li Yan walked closer. He could see clearly in the moonlight: he was a young woman in her twenties, with dark hair and yellow skin, but her eyes were slightly blue, and she seemed to be a mixed race, but she was probably of Chinese descent.

Hillary was still kneeling on the ground. When she heard the man who suddenly came out asked her back, she was asking her guilty question. She said ah, but she didn't expect why the other party should question her. She was just in a hurry and embarrassed, and didn't know how to answer. She was holding a whip in her left hand. When she noticed that Li Yanzhi turned her eyes to her left hand, she quickly hid the whip behind her reflexively.

Li Yanzhi suddenly thought, "She is not going to whip herself, right?" and said, "What are you hiding?"

"No!" cried Sister Hillary.

"No?" Li Yan drew a cross on the beach and said, "Is it your lying to be yours?"

Hillary cried again, cried on the ground and said, "Lord! I have violated the precepts again!"

Lin Daogan looked behind the bamboo cong and secretly admired him, thinking: "The third young master is really amazing! I was worried that I didn't know what to do. After a few words, he said this nun who even Harold and the others wanted to let the three-pointer be played with by him!" Because he was afraid that Deng Dachun would be suspicious of not going back for too long, he went back first.

When Deng Dachun saw him back, he asked, "Why have you been there for so long... Huh, where is that boatman?"

"He met a nun." Lin Daogan said: "As soon as Gong was finished, he was pulled to preach by the nun. I was so annoyed by the listener that I came back first."

These sailors have always regarded Hillary's kind-hearted preaching as a long-winded one, so Deng Dachun was happy when he heard it and was full of gloating at the "boatman": "This kid is really unlucky!"

Unlucky?

Li Yanzhi didn't feel that way at this moment. Although the 20-year-old Hillary's figure was in a black robe, her appearance alone looked very beautiful and charming in the moonlight!

"I didn't lie on purpose." She started crying and handed over the whip to Li Yanzhi. Her Chinese was also very good. It seems that at least one of his immediate relatives was Chinese.

"Are you really a nun?" Li Yan passed the whip and questioned: "Where did you practice the Tao? Why are you so fragile to the loyalty of God?"

"I wasn't like this," said Hillary: "But, I have just recently suspected God... Lord! Lord! This must be the devil tempting me!" She said as she left two lines of tears, which looked crystal clear and seductive under the moonlight.

Li Yanzhi almost felt like he reached out to touch her cheek and wiped her tears drying her tears, but he held it back, holding a whip in his right hand and knocked it on the palm of his left hand, asking tentatively: "The devil will not come out for no reason. There must be some reason that opened the door to purgatory. Has something happened to you recently?"

Hillary nodded gently, leaned on the ground, sobbing, Li Yan shouted: "Don't cry, be strong! Tell your suspicion! That suspicion is also a devil! Don't hide it in your heart!"

At this time, Hillary Clinton was not sure whether she needed to find someone to tell her, or was controlled by Li Yanzhi, sobbed silently and told Li Yanzhi about her origin. Her father was originally a Guangdong native. In order to make a living, she married an Arab woman in the Woya area and gave birth to many children. Hillary was the ninth youngest daughter. When she was nine years old, the family went west to do business and actually went to Italy. It was there that her father went bankrupt and her family's livelihood became a problem. With the introduction of a friend, she was sent to the church. That year, she was twelve years old.

"Oh, you have lived in Italy." Li Yanzhi was a little surprised. In this era, it was not easy for Italians to come to China, let alone a woman!

Hillary said that after coming to the East China Sea, she also told some Chinese about her affairs in Europe, but those Chinese were either surprised and listened to her affairs as interesting stories, or they were very confused. It seemed that Hillary was talking about things in another world - this was due to the great differences in knowledge and cultural background, especially when it came to Europa's geographical common sense, Catholic religious common sense, and Western world conceptual common sense, Hillary Clinton could not understand it without explaining the Chinese who listened to her, so she often had to make seven or eight annotations when she said one sentence.

So for so long, Hillary hasn't even found a good listener, let alone someone who can communicate with her.

But now, Li Yanzhi seemed to be able to understand what he said to her, and his conversation with him was very conscientious. It was definitely not that he pretended to understand. This brought the psychological distance between him and Hillary closer.

"Are he also a European? Or have he been to Europe? Or have he studied with the monks who preached here?"

Her guess actually makes some sense. Although Li Yanzhi has not studied with priests or monks, he has received Westernized education, although it is alienated Westernized education.

Hillary didn't ask these questions, but she already felt like a "cultural fellow" in her heart.

"But why did you come here?" Li Yan asked directly.

"Three years ago, I made a temporary wish."

According to the rules of Catholicism, if a female Catholic is determined to practice Taoism, she must first express her intention to the priest in this church. If the priest agrees, she will arrange for her to go to a certain sect to receive indoctrination. After several years of training, she is qualified to vow to become a formal nun. Vows are divided into temporary vows and lifelong vows. The temporary vows are generally from one to three years. After the expiration of the period, she can renew the vows. This is called a renewed vow. If the renewed vows are over and not want to return to secular life, she can make a lifetime vow to serve their Lord for the rest of her life.

"But just as I was about to put my heart into the arms of the Lord, my father passed away."

Hillary's father is a father with a deep Chinese tradition. Although he has traveled abroad for more than 20 years, he still adheres to the education of benevolence and filial piety in his family. Influenced by his father, Hillary became a nun and lived in the religious order, but he still maintained his filial piety to his father.

"My father hoped that the ashes would return to China when he died. I promised him when he was dying, but Europa and China traveled thousands of miles away, how difficult it would be to bring his ashes back. It was almost impossible!"

At this moment, a Spanish priest heard about her and introduced her to the president of the Jesuits, Luo Yaola. When Luo Yaola heard that she knew Chinese and an Indian dialect, she encouraged her to serve in the East and fulfill her promise to her father.

"So, I set out in Lisbon and went to Waya, India with Father Shaved. Father Shaved stayed there, and asked me to come to China first. He said he would come over in a while. With his help, the Portuguese officials in Waya helped me find a ship to the port of Shitong (Quanzhou). However, the ship unfortunately sank when it passed through the Strait of Manlacia. I drifted to the beach with a piece of wood, and waited hard on the desolate shore, and finally let me wait for a passing ship. At that time, I thought it was God who favored me, but who knew that it was not an angel, but Satan!"

"Satan?" Li Yan asked directly: "Is it Binsong's group?"

"Yeah." Hillary nodded in pain.

"Did...they...they defiled you?" When Li Yanzhi said this, he felt a little embarrassed. The young nun kneeling at his feet was so pious and innocent. If he was really defiled by those pirates, no one would be sad.

"No...no..." Hillary's face was a little red. The nun was also a human being, and she was still an uninformed young girl after all. "After they heard about my origin, they allowed me to board the boat, and it was not difficult for me along the way."

It turned out that the Jesuits were one of the most active religious orders in Catholicism at that time. Although there were not many scholars, they were all elites and maintained close ties with the upper class of Europe. The incident of Zaberro coming to Woya was very news with the Flangji people living in the East. Binson had stayed in Woya, so he had heard of Zaberro's incident. After hearing about Hillary's origin, he thought she was very valuable, so he maintained a certain respect for her.
